Observations over the last decade indicate black-holes likely resided at the heart of most if not all galaxies. The correlation between the masses of these compact nuclear sources and their host galaxy is poorly understood and likely plays an important role in the formation and evolution, of at least the most massive systems, due to AGN feedback. ... I will give a brief summary of the reverberation mapping technique and describe the important role SkyMapper photometry can play in this program. ...

Photon Scattering: Basic Principle of Photon Scattering . Audio Narration is available . No Scattering: Photon Source and Detector . ... For optical photons, scattering goes as wavelength to the -4 power. In the case of blue photons compared to red photons, this means that blue photons are about 10 times more likely to get scattered than red photons. ...

... The jets can also be produced in smaller scale by binary stellar systems. ... Some 200 -- 250 X-ray binaries, systems in which a neutron star or black hole is accreting material from a companion star, are known. Approximately 20% of these sources have been detected at radio wavelengths, and in several cases high resolution radio observations have resolved this emission into jet-like structures, sometimes with components moving at relativistic velocities. ... It is variable radio source. ...

Due to the nature of the extraction region neither an encircled energy or vignetting correction is applied to the ARF. Such corrections are likely to be available in a future version but the effect will be rather small. XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2003-01-10

... First of all, I should say that you cannot guarantee user-mode processes to have exact control of timing because of the multi-tasking nature of Linux. ... However, for most applications using I/O ports, this does not really matter. To minimise this, you may want to nice your process to a high-priority value (see the nice(2) manual page) or use real-time scheduling (see below). ... Linux 2.x kernels have soft real time support; see the manual page for sched_setscheduler(2) for details. ...

ABSTRACT: Both previous radiomessages for aliens, Arecibo 1974 and Evpatoria 1999 (see http://ebe.allwebco.com/Science for details) were the logical ones and represented the binary stream of FM information, which should be arranged into two-dimensional forms to perceive by eye-like sense-organ. ... So, I suggest to implement the 1st Theremin Concert for Aliens from Arecibo or Evpatoria Radar facility. ... The theremin was invented 80 years ago, in 1920 by Leon Theremin. ...
